(100% APPROVED)
What is information System - (correct answer) an automated system that uses
computer hardware and software to record, manipulate, store, recover, and disseminate
data (that is, a system that receives and processes input and provides output)
Describe financial applications - (correct answer) software applications that handle
patient accounts, budgets, and other financial activities
What is mainframe computers - (correct answer) large computers that are used by
the government and other organizations that require speed and the ability to process
large amounts of data.
Dumb Terminals - (correct answer) all of the processing is performed at the server
or mainframe
Cloud Computing - (correct answer) a system that operates on a computer that is
owned and maintained by a vendor.
Intranet - (correct answer) a private information network that uses Internet
technologies; however, its servers are located inside a firewall or security barrier so that
the general public cannot gain access to information housed within the network
Health Information Exchange - (correct answer) the exchange of health information
electronically between providers and others with the same level of interoperability.
Evidence-based medicine - (correct answer) healthcare services based on clinical
methods that have been thoroughly tested through controlled, peer-reviewed biomedical
studies
Clinical pathways - (correct answer) a tool designed to coordinate multidisciplinary
care planning for specific diagnoses and treatments
clinical practice guidelines - (correct answer) provide a detailed, step-by-step guide
used by healthcare practitioners to make knowledge-based decisions related to patient
care and issued by an authoritative organization such as a medical society.
Health Informatics - (correct answer) scientific discipline that is concerned with the
cognitive, information-processing, and communication tasks of healthcare practice,
education, and research, including the information science and technology to support
these tasks
, Data Analytics - (correct answer) the science of examining raw data with the
purpose of drawing conclusions about that information
Data mining - (correct answer) process of extracting and analyzing large volumes of
data from a database for the purpose of identifying hidden and sometimes subtle
relationships or patterns and using those relationships to predict behaviors.
dashboards - (correct answer) reports of process measures to help leaders follow
progress to assist with strategic planning
descriptive statistics - (correct answer) set of statistical techniques used to describe
data, such as means, frequency distributions, and standard deviations; describes the
characteristics of a specific group or a population
inferential statistics - (correct answer) set of statistical techniques that allows
researchers to make generalizations about a population's characteristics on the basis of
a sample's characteristics,
predictive modeling - (correct answer) process used to identify patterns that can be
used to predict the odds of a particular outcome based on the observed data. Uses
historical data in order to predict what is likely to happen in the future.
certified health data analyst (CHDA) - (correct answer) advanced certification covers
data management, data analytics, and data reporting
Clinical Information Systems - (correct answer) collects and stores medical, nursing,
clinical ancillary areas (such as radiology and laboratory), and therapy department
information related to patient care
document management system - (correct answer) electronic method of capturing
and managing documents.
target sheets - (correct answer) pages that contain only a barcode that tells the
scanner and, ultimately, the computer the content of the pages that follow
file server - (correct answer) large PC or other computer that is extremely powerful
and has a large amount of memory and magnetic hard drive
abstracting and quality control workstation - (correct answer) workstation is used for
indexing and quality control
backscanning - (correct answer) process of scanning past health records into the
DMS so there is an existing database of patient information
symbiology - (correct answer) format; for barcodes it is Code 39, also known as
Code 3 of 9
